How Horses Rest themselves.

s4Horses can get scme rest standing,
said an old trainer recently, provided
the position be reasonably easy, but no
full rest except recumbent. 1t is known
of some horses that they never lie down
III the stall, though if kept in pasture they
take their rest habitually in a recumbent
position. 1t is well to consider whether
the habit has not been forced upon the
horse by some circumstance connected
with the stall he was made to occupy, in
that it had muddy earth floor, or one
made of dilapidated plank, uncomfortable
and offensive to the horse that had been
accustomed to select his own bed and pas
ture IL the horse can have the privilege
of selecting his own position for resting
on his feet he can sleep standing; but
while his muscles may be to a certain
degree relaxed and get rest in that posi-
ton, what can be said of the bearings at
the joints? Without relief through the
recumbent position. the joint surfaces are
forced continuously to bear a weight
varying from / coo to 1880 pounds. This
must act unfavorably, especially upon the
complicated structures within the hoofs
which nature intended should have
periods of rest each day. New York

How Charcoal is Made. :

Charcoal is duly appreciated by lazy
women, " said dealer in that commodity
to a reporter. with it one can build q
fire in five minutes. 1t is cheap. sell
charcoal at SO per chaldron. but peddlers
deal it out at thirty-fve cents per bushcl.
Yes, charcoal is little dearer than coal,
but then the latter doesn't go so far or
last so long. The best charcoal used by
tin roofers or plumbers is made in the
Catslills or in the woods of New Jersey.
1t is made in this way: A cord of wood
isplaced in cleared piece of ground, with
the sticks standing upright. In the midi
die a stake is driven. The fine and
coarse woods are mixed close together so
as to. make o firm pile. The whole is
covered with sods and earth. A fire is
lighted in the center of the pile and on
the top Of which a hole is cut so as to
allow the smoke to escape. The fire is
permitted to smolder for twelve or
fifteen days, when the sod is taken off.
A cord of wood viii turn out from
twenty to thirty bushels of charcoal. In
former years much more charcoal ped
ding was done than now. The trade
has pretty well petered out, however,
owing to the many hard coal Fcddlers. !"

INDEPENDENT FAMILY
ANNAPOLIS. ND. FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY q, 1887.


A reporter had a chat the other day
with a business man OF this city who
spent day in Salt Lake City not long
ago. He reports that women and men
there have depressed, melancholy look,
and give the impression they are persc-
cuted. The physical appearance of the
women is good. An old man, stone
setter, was asked by one of the ladies OF
the party how many wives he had. Ills
reply was:
'sYou know, madam, we are only al
lowed to have one. -
This old man tried to find out what
the visitor thought of the Edmunds bill.
1t was noticed that the reading desk of
the Tabernacle was hung in black. The
visitor asked if any one were dead. The
reply was that it was done in memory of
the elders In prison. The gentleman
took bath in Salt lake. The water, he
says, is much more salt than that of the
ocean, so much so that the attendants
warn visitors not to swallow it, as it
burns the tissues of the throat. 1t was
very easy to keep afloat in the water, but
very hard to get into On upright position.
A trip on the steamer ON the lake was
taken, and the captain said he could
make but three knots an hour because cf
the great resistance of the water. 1t
was reported that there were no fish in tho
lake, but the visitor filed bottle with the
water and found two little fish in it.
Very beautiful and bright crystal forma-
tions were found along the edge of tho
lake looking like pure rock candy. Some
of the sage bushes, upon which the water
flowed, were covered with this crystal
formation. New York Mail and Ex-

AyoLDPAsHroyED MERCHANT
From TIE Dry. Goods Chronicl


In one OF tho towns In by state lives an
eccentric retail drygoOds merchant, who never sells
any goods unless profit Unless he can do the later
he prefers TO carry them year after year. no matter
whether they GO OF style not In financial point
of view this merchant Is we0-do, and pays cash down
for all the goods he buys therefore he Is In position to
carry out his pecuares He has goods on his shelves
which had been purchased quarter OF century ago
and which have gone out and come into fashion many
times since On the whole he has boon fairly successful
In trade and not for the life Of him. he says under
stand why so many merchants sell goods at loss and
how 80 many others fail. He never offers bargains
nor throws leaders but drives along In the ola way
He has never asked for extension or compromised OF
failed but has always paid his bills promptly, dollar for
dollar 800 .,,
Some time ago q competitive merchant In his town
called on him 10 get few yards OF goods 10 mstch
piece when he had sold to customer at 10 cents yard
and his only that bad this class OF goods on
hand lilo said: Mr.: Jones, want i've yards OF snon
and such dress goods TO match piece sold some ule
ago TO customer sold IL 70 the latter Tor l0 cents per
yard the remnant out as the goods were od and
out of fashion What will you let me have II Tor .
az will sell it you for the price 81 cents per
yard-at which have been selling IL for the last twenty
ycars-no more, no less" replied the merchant
Argument In this useless IL was elther take
